<h3>Basics</h3>

<p>
Have you ever been to a family gathering and struggled to get pictures from everyone afterwards? Look no further, Simple Family Photos solves this dilemna. This site provides an easy way to collect all of those photos, as well as a way to search for and find events.
</p>
<p>
To protect members of a family, we use "family administrators" who are the only ones that are allowed to edit and delete pictures and events. You will be an administrator if you create a family, or you can be added by another administrator. If you are an administrator of any families, you will see an "<?php echo ($isAdmin ? $html->link('Admin help', '/people/adminhelp') : 'Admin help'); ?>" link in the top right corner of this page that will provide more information.

You can create an event album under any family you are a part of. To do this, find the family you want to add an album to on your main page. You will see a green plus. Click this to begin adding an event.<br />
<?php echo $html->image('/img/create_event_start.png'); ?><br />

This will take you to an event album creation page. Here, simply fill out the event information and select "Create Event". You will then be taken back to your main page and the event should be visible (but with no photos yet!).<br />
<?php echo $html->image('/img/create_event_create.png'); ?>

<br/>
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/GXKWavMPJV0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<p>To upload pictures to an existing event, follow these steps:
<ol>
	<li>First, navigate into the event that you wish to add photos to.</li>
	<li>Second, open up the folder containing your pictures on your own computer.</li>
	<li>Finally, Select and then drag and drop the selected photos into the designated uploader area (located at the bottom of Simple Family Photos) and press the "Start Upload" button.</li>
</ol>
</p>

<h4><a name="edit_picture_caption"></a>How Do I Add or Edit Picture Captions?</h4>
<p>
When pictures are first uploaded, they have no caption. To add a caption, simply move your mouse to the area right below a picture on an event album page. You will see a popup box that looks like the one shown below:<br />
<?php echo $html->image('/img/add_caption.png'); ?>
</p>

<p>
To remove or edit a caption, mouse over below the image just like you would when adding a caption. The current caption text will appear in the box. You can change this however you want and then click "update" to save it.<br />
<?php echo $html->image('/img/edit_caption.png'); ?>
</p>

<h4><a name="search_events"></a>How Do I Search Events?</h4>
<p>
To search an event, you can use the search bar that is at the top of every Simple Family Photos page. To search, click the box and type in your search text. Afterwards, hit enter to start the search.<br />
<?php echo $html->image('/img/search_enter.png'); ?><br />

You will be taken to a search page that will list all events that match your search text. You can search again to find different events.<br />
<?php echo $html->image('/img/search_results'); ?>
</p>

<h4><a name="download_photos"></a>How Do I Download Event Photos?</h4>
<p>
On any page of an event, you will see a "Download album" link on the upper left. If you click this, you will be able to download a .zip file with all of the event photos inside.<br />
<?php echo $html->image('/img/download_start.png'); ?>
</p>

<h4><a name="administration"></a>How Do I Become an Administrator?</h4>
<p>
To become an administrator of an existing family, you will have to ask an administrator of that family to promote you. A step-by-step instruction on how to promote someone to administrator can be found in the <?php echo $html->link('Admin help', array('controller' => 'people', 'action' => 'adminhelp')); ?> page. </p><p>
When you create a family, you are automatically the administrator of that family. You can promote anyone currently in the family to be allowed to edit and delete pictures and events.
